There is no lunar eclipse theory. Man has been watching lunar elcipses ever since he first roamed the earth.

Is there ever a lunar eclipse on the Ides of March?
Yes, lunar eclipses can occur on the Ides of March, which is March 15th. The occurrence of a lunar eclipse is not tied to a specific date but rather to the alignment of the Earth, Moon, and Sun. So it is possible for a lunar eclipse to happen on any date of the year, including the Ides of March.

The longest one has ever lasted is 1 day.

Yes, many people have witnessed a solar or lunar eclipse. Solar eclipses occur when the moon passes between the sun and the Earth, temporarily blocking the sun's light. Lunar eclipses occur when the Earth blocks the sun's light from reaching the moon. Both types of eclipses can be observed by people on Earth under the right conditions.
What are the myths about being born during a lunar eclipse?
I've heard many, I've been told that being born on a lunar eclipse can result in you going crazy if you ever 'see' another, I was born on a lunar eclipse and I've seen plenty. People just say things, a myth is all it is.
Does a lunar eclipse occur during a new moon?
They happen during, and only during, the new moon. This is because during an eclipse the moon has the sun shining from directly behind it, and it's impossible for us to see any of the side of the moon lit up by the sun from this angle.

No reason why they could not- they are unrelated events.

Yes. The total lunar eclipse of December 21, 2010 will be visible (weather permitting!) from the entire North American continent. The total solar eclipse of August 21, 2017 will include the farthest, tiniest southwest corner of Iowa. but most if Iowa will see a partial eclipse on that day.

It means not frequently. Infrequent things happen rarely or hardly ever. A lunar eclipse is an infrequent event.
Why is the lunar eclipse not frequent?
Because the sun, Earth and moon rarely ever line up EXACTLY in a straight line.
